**[Donburi 100 Best Shops] Series (Special Edition)** A Budget-Friendly Uni Donburi in Tsukiji! Located a 5-minute walk from Tsukiji Station, I visited "Suzuki Suisan." It's situated along the Harumi Dori street. Arriving around 9:30 am on a weekday, there was no wait. I was able to enter smoothly. I ordered the "Nakaochi Uni Donburi" for 1,500 yen. It came with a clam miso soup and pickles. It was served promptly. The nakaochi (sea urchin roe) and uni (sea urchin) were both relatively fresh and delicious. It wasn't cheap and nasty; it was flavorful and had no fishy smell. I enjoyed it all the way to the end.

This is a casual eatery where you can quickly enjoy fresh seafood dishes. It's always crowded, so I try to go early for lunch. **Sashimi Set** The sashimi platter features three types of fish, including plump yellowtail, along with tuna. It also comes with tuna flakes. 1,500 yen **Grilled Mackerel Set** The huge grilled mackerel is served boneless and easy to eat. It was delicious and had no fishy smell at all. 1,000 yen **Tuna Donburi Set** Thick slices of fresh tuna are laid over a bed of perfectly seasoned vinegared rice. It's truly delicious. 1,000 yen **Fish Stew Set** This dish always sells out quickly. 500 yen **Tuna Belly Donburi Set** Enjoy the deliciousness of tuna at a great price. 1,000 yen Recently, there has been a huge increase in domestic and international tourists visiting Tsukiji. 5 minutes walk from Higashi-Ginza Station

This is a local seafood donburi (rice bowl) and set meal restaurant that's open from morning. While Tsukiji has many seafood restaurants, this is my top pick. I occasionally visit for a luxurious breakfast. They serve fresh fish quickly, which is great for precious morning time. Of course, the fish is delicious, but I absolutely love their freshly cooked rice. I always have a very happy meal here, starting from early morning. Thank you. I'll be back again.

This is a restaurant specializing in grilled and simmered fish set meals. While they also offer sashimi and seafood bowls, I highly recommend the grilled mackerel set meal, which is cooked right in front of you. It's only 800 yen, making it a great value. The mackerel is incredibly flavorful, with a rich, oily taste. My wife had the simmered golden eye snapper set meal, which was also delicious, but the grilled mackerel is definitely the star of the show.
